Dear Kenneth,
We are using "gpfs" file system we don't have any local filesystem to
install the modules.
Kindly let me know why it is giving an error on this filesystem.
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure why using a shared filesystem like GPFS
for the build directory, but it's some kind of a timing/syncing issue
(or a bug in GPFS)...
To be clear: the build directory is where the software is being compiled
by EasyBuild, it's not where the software is being installed to.
If you have a local disk in the system where you are running EasyBuild,
you should configure EasyBuild to use that for the build directories,
for example using "eb --buildpath /tmp/$USER" or "export
EASYBUILD_BUILDPATH=/tmp/$USER; eb ...".
If you don't have a local disk, you can use /dev/shm (which can also
significantly speed up the building).
By default, EasyBuild abuses $HOME/.local/easybuild for the build
directories, install directories, etc.
Using your home directory may not be a good configuration on your system
though, so you should reconfigure EasyBuild to use different locations.
The documentation I linked to explains that in detail, but do let us
know if you have any further questions.
regards,
Kenneth

Dear Satish,
On which OS are you seeing this?
From the config.log:
ld.gold: error:
/gpfs1/home/ibm/.local/easybuild/build/GCCcore/4.9.3/dummy-/gcc-4.9.3/obj/./gcc/libgcc_s.so:1:1:
invalid character
That looks like the same problem as was reported in
https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/issues/4191
<https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/issues/4191>,
i.e. having the build directory on a shared filesystem may be the
problem here...
Try configuring EasyBuild to use a local directory as build
directory, see
http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Configuration.html#build-path-buildpath
<http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Configuration.html#build-path-buildpath>.
